Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday said that the NDA government will be voted out if fair and free elections are allowed to be conducted in Bihar.
As the state went to polls in phase one on November 6, top leaders of both coalitions were seen addressing poll rallies with renewed vigour.
Addressing a poll rally in the state, Vadra alleged that the NDA has no respect for the people of Bihar, who had contributed immensely for the nation’s development.
“BJP leaders urge people to vote for the NDA in the name of religion, and not for development. If this election is free and fair, the people of Bihar will uproot this government and vote for one that will work for the poor, women and the youth,” she said.
The Congress leader on Wednesday accused the NDA government of wanting to assume power in Bihar through ‘vote chori’, and claimed that the names of 65 lakh people, including women, were deleted from the electoral rolls through SIR.

“My brother Rahul today gave an account of ‘vote theft’ in Haryana,” she said, referring to allegations leveled by the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, of widespread voter fraud in assembly elections in the state of Haryana.
Casting aspersions on the intentions of the NDA, Vadra said she doubts whether the country would continue to witness elections in the future.
“NDA will destroy everything… It is not clear whether there will be elections in the future… Why are you silent? Chase them out of power,” she told the crowd.
Slamming the NDA government for “poor infrastructure” in the state, the Congress leader also claimed that “27 bridges have collapsed in the last three years” in Bihar, and said once uprooted, the NDA government replaced by a dispensation that would work for the poor, women and the youth.
